Printing and the Commissioners.

We regret that the action of four
strikingly partisan and reckless
members of the board of county CON-
missioners did not give THE Sun a
fair chance to compete for the publ.
cation of the concise and ineligible
financial statement prepared by Aud
itor Giltinan.. 1t would :be a plea
sure to have been able to lay this i'm
portant document before our readers
augmented by the consciousness that
we were performing an act of charity
towards an over.burdened community
OF taxpayers by publishing it at one
fifth the rate which the law says such
services are worth. The Tribune will
gather IN just twice and ne-half this
amount for doing the work. In other
words: the county will pay one hun.
dred and twenty FIVE dollars, about.

This rate Is fifty per cent. in advance
of the rate unlawfully allowed the
Tribune last year by the commission
ers. We say nnlawfully because

The credit does not belong on that

A sanguIne ~stockman.

Col. Mat Patrick arrived in the city
from Omahs last evening. Col. Patrick
will be remembered by early settlers as
the man who succeeded the celebrated
Ben. Holiday as the stage coach mogul
of the West, and is the same Col Patrick
who was one of the proprietors of the
Cheyenne & Black Hills Stage and Ex-
press line. The colonel is now en- route
to his large ranch in johnson county, and
while here will purchase a large number
of fine bulls and other stock to place on
his ranges. The gentleman's faith in the
cattle business is unwavering, he having
last night remarked that when Others
wished to retire from the cattle business
he was just as anxious as ever to invest.
An opinion of this sort expressed by a
man of large capital and years of expert
ence carries considerable weight, and goes
to show that there is proportionately just
as much money in the cattle business now
as there was FIVE or six years ago.

In the case of the Cheyenne & Burling-

and one for the Both.
The Trumbull case will be taken up this
morning. A large number of witnesses
are in the city, some OF them having been
on hand for several days. 1t is antici-
pated that considerable difficulty will be

Eens qualified to render judgment on the
testimony concerning the killing of Miley
by Trumbull, but a jury can doubtless be

The Devils auction Base Ball club,
which was supposed to be second only to
the Detroit giants, crossed bats with the
Cheyenne boys yesterday, and that's
about all they did. The game lasted
five innings and resulted in a score of ls
to 8 10 favor of the home team. The
devil and his satanic imps presented a
rather slouchy appearance on the ball
field, but were let down quite easily by
the printers and railroad boyd. Some
very fine plays were made by members Of
the Cheyenne club and their batting was
simply tremendous, thirteen of the
eighteen scores being earned, while the
actors were entitled to but one run. A
good sized audience witnessed the e1hibi
ton and everyone enjoyed it.

The very worst and most annoying
nuisance at the present moment is created
by the scraps OF Boiling wire which are
scattered through the streets. The paint

Dispute.

-
An individual whose name is unknown,
but of whom the police have a pretty good
description, created considerable excite
ment at the Stock Exchange saloon about
1920 o'clock last evening by his careless
manipulation OF a six shooter. He was
sober, but seemed to belong to that class
OF importatiops who are constantly looking
for a scrimmage with some one and whose
principal desire is to be thoroughly tough.
After disposing of a schooner of the am
Der beverage sold at hat store, he
inquired the price of the luxury and upon
being asked the regulation loo, strongly
demurred, saving that whisky was only
five cents per glass in Cincinnati, and that
schooners ought to be two for i've
here. The proprietor told him that there
could DO no deviation from the regular
price and furthermore that he should have
remained in Cincinnati or some other
Eastern CITY where beer was plenty and
money scarce. The stranger became
somewhat riled at this remark and draw
ing a revolver from his pocket remarked
that anyone who succeeded in collecting
his beer bill would perform the
act in heaven or some other
place. The bartender made a break for
a billiard cue. while a third party at

RAILROAD MEN.
Work to be Pushed on IA Cheyenne &
Northern.--U. r.. Inspection.

..# r. -N.
Another installment of tracklayers COM
posed of fifty men employed by j. J.
Brown & Co, railroad contractors, In
Omaha, arrived over the Union Pacific
last night and will be shipped out to the
terminus Of the Cheyenne & Northern
this morning. These men. together with
the $50 now engaged in tr~acklaying, will
form a force competent to put down a
mile and a half of iron per day. Work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and
the fifty miles necessary to reach the
Platte, the objective point of the con-
tractors, will be finished in less than two
months. From this new terminus to the
city of Douglas is about thirty nine miles,
but whether the Cheyenne & Northern
will eyer reach the second town of Albany
county is a matter of much doubt. Rail-
road men say that it will not. Everyone
will be well pleased to know that work on
the road is to be resumed in such a bust
nesslike and vigorous manner.
Gen. Jos. r. Johnston, a member of
the government commission appointed to
investigate the condition and workings of
the Pacific railroads in which the govern
ment is interested, will arrive in Cheyenne
at 9:30 this morning. The generals spe-
cial train was to have arrived at $3.50 last
evening, but night overtaking them at
Pine Bluffs, it was concluded to remain at
that station until this morning. The
commissioner business in this country
is of the usual character pertaining to the
duties of his office. and will take him
over the entire line of the Pacific railroad
system. He will be accompanied to
Ogden by Superintendent Wurtele In his
private car.
Col. Morgan, government inspector OF
railroads, whose duty consists in ~investi-
eating the condition OF the rolling stock
and appliances Of railroads in which the
government is interested, came up from
Denver last evening and will leave on a
tour of inspection over the Cheyenne L.
Northern at $50 this morning. Col.
Morgan will doubtless find this branch of
the Union Pacific in first class shape, as
is the case with all portions of the road
under control of Superintendent Wurtele.
